Super Eagles Striker Victor Osimhen has again turned down a jaw-dropping offer from Saudi Arabian giants Al-Hilal, who presented the Nigerian striker with a mind-blowing ₦275 billion (€160 million) deal spanning three years.
Despite the unprecedented figure which translates to over ₦91 billion (€40 million) annually the Nigerian International striker remains unmoved in his commitment to European football.
The latest offer marks the seventh attempt by Al-Hilal to lure Osimhen to the Saudi Pro League, with the 26-year-old currently vacationing in Nigeria during the off-season.
According to Napoli Calcio News, Al-Hilal’s manager, Simone Inzaghi, plans to make a personal pitch to the striker. However, Osimhen appears resolute, keeping his eyes fixed on top European suitors such as Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Real Madrid.

The mega-deal, if accepted, would make Osimhen the highest-paid Nigerian footballer in history, dwarfing the salary once earned by former Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo during his time in the Chinese Super League.
